The 944 Turbo Cup is a total click-bait. Given the mileage and provenance, this would normally be a EUR 100k car. The guide is there to attract a bidding war...

Funnily enough I thought it was silly cheap as well

When I was about 16 I stopped taking house and car 'guide prices' at auction seriously.
You're better off adding 30% from the get go.

Purely there to get folk in.

Mrs Scho is forever sending me houses that are a total bargain...Quoting the guide price.

I will say however that the 944 pictured is utterly perfect. The Fusch wheel suits them so well.

This is what a EUR50k 944 Turbo can do with the opposition...

Gutted. Such a talented person and so full of life. Tragic.

On a cheerier note:

The Mini Cooper 1986 prototype for evaluation to prove the concept of sticking an MG Metro 1300 engine into a Mini Mayfair.
To a true Mini nerd or serious collector it’s a rare opportunity for sure.

For no other reason than I really like these, oh and that I saw a black one on the A4 the other day.

Cheap compared to others



I don't know how much of a prat I'd look driving about but I'd be happy to find out.

And re Sabine, yes, absolutely awful.

Seems a splendid choice of car to go for a picnic in the countryside in

I have this motoring dream of cruising down to the south of France in one of them. I think that would be a good adventure. Stop off for a night in Champagne on the way. Etc.

I think I'd still take this one, on these wheels, and with the £15k price reduction since it was first advertised.

The update does work very well and is suitably Beverly Hills (which actually sounds fantastically suburban).

I do love this advert though

I think they are clearly vintage enough that you'd look cool and people would wonder what ageing rockstar you were ;-)

Here's one you can buy today, Mr Crown:

£70k but has had some staggering money spent on it.

Or for less than half that price:

I expect the more expensive one would be the cheaper ownership proposition!
